Default ls3 intake bolts

Can anyone confirm GM part # 12552344 is the correct number please. Seems pretty expensive for a GM bolt or if anyone knows of a set would be great.

thanks

I recently picked up 10 from fastenal using that part number. They worked fine as is. I just threw a washer under the head of each bolt since theres no flange or anything like the stock ones do.

Funny, I too got the Fastenal 120mm long bolts & maybe 4 of them tighten up, the other 6 are too long. %$##$%^&*((&^%$!!!!!

Guess I gotta cut them shorter.

I wanted black bolts, so I went with ARP. The cost was about 1/2 the cost of new GM. As mentioned, generic m6 bolts are the cheapest route provided you can find the right length.
